Finding Balance
We have either seen or been the person that walks into a room full of people seemingly having it all together. Others in the room think we are arrogant, but we know we are struggling to be accepted.
Insecurities are present in all of us. Some have overcome a lot of their issues and are doing much better now. However, many are still smothered under the weight of their insecurities. When that person walks into a room and acts like they are just find and have all their ducks in row, don’t be so quick to judge them. Why think someone is conceded when they do appear to have their life in order? It is because we have insecurities that change our perspective. We are thinking arrogance, they are thinking just want to be accepted. There is a balance that we need to reach. Don’t just assume that because someone seems to have their life in order that they are arrogant. Make them feel safe with you, make them see that they don’t have to act any certain way to be accepted. When we do this, we then can challenge them to grow and mature into the gift that they have been given

It’s All Good
When we start seeing our limitations, disabilities, and challenges as our calling we will change our perspective. Looking at things from a positive stand point rather than from a negative one.
We all have our stuff that we have to deal with in life. When we take on those issues and see them as our destiny we will begin to see our purpose. There are unfair circumstances that we have to deal with in our lives. When we take them head on and stop complaining about them we will move closer to our destiny. When we see these issues as being stepping stones and not our end then we will begin to help others. We have not been given anything that we can’t handle. God will never put something in our life that stops us. He is showing us areas we need to grow and mature. When we overcome our circumstances we are being an example for others that are facing their mountains too. Don’t give up, quit or even complain. Changing our perspective from negative to a positive we will see our life change. Be a good, positive example today. Be an overcomer today!

Ever Notice
Ever been “in a place” where you were scared someone would speak to you; yet sad because no one did? Only If you have been there do you know.
When you walk into a room and see that person alone; have you wondered why they are not talking to anyone? Why are they isolated from everyone else? We all have been on one side or the other in this case; some have been on both sides. Our insecurities can put us in a place where we really don’t want to be. Those insecurities and fears will then keep us in that place. Today send notice to those insecurities and fears that we will not stay here any longer. Don’t let those insecurities keep you in that place. Just because you have insecurities doesn’t mean you have to stay insecure. Know that everyone has some type of insecurity. Don’t every let your insecurity lead you to think you are the only that has fears or insecurities. Today is your day to break out of that place

Getting It Together
We spend so much time acting like we got it all together; that we never manage to get close to having it all together. Let’s put down the pretense that we have arrived and make some progress.
It is a sign of pride or insecurity or both; when we try to act as if though we have no pride or insecurity. None of us have it all together. Although, I will admit, some have it more together than others. No matter how bad our situation and issues, when we realize that we don’t have it altogether and start working on getting it together; we are much better off. Just coming to the realization is a major step. The saying, knowing is half the battle, is true here. When we stop making excuses for where we are in life and start making changes; we are much better off. I choose today to admit my faults, insecurities and mistakes (like folk didn’t already know them) and start making progress in getting it together. You choose the ‘it” you want to get together and then start. Starting is a major step. Once you get some momentum going, you will find it hard to stop. Make today the day you change your life for the better. You can do it!

From Trying to Doing
It seems like sometimes the harder I try the less I get done. I want to move from trying to doing. I want to move to that place where my insecurities stop me from doing. Trying is no longer acceptable; time to move to doing.
When we are in trying mindset and things keep going wrong and we seem to get nothing accomplished; that is when give up will show up. There are times when I try so hard to do what I believe I am supposed to do, but then nothing right seems to happen. That is when those insecurities will jump up and tell you to give up. They will tell you it’s not worth all these, just give up you will never be good enough. When insecurities tell you that people will never accept you, they will always reject you; it is so easy to just throw in the towel. When we get stuck in trying and never get over into doing, then we are likely to listen to those insecurities and give up. That is just what the enemy to our destiny would have us to do. Stay with the plan, do what is right, do it right, and do it for the right reason. Don’t allow those insecurities to rule your life. Believe in your God given gift and never let insecurities to stop you.

In the Trenches
02 23 11 Wednesday
I am one of those that can hear 99 good things, but the 1 negative or just no response is the one that stays with me. I know that may sound crazy, but that’s me.
It may be just me, but I still battle some insecurities. Mainly a rejection or disapproval mindset. It’s no where near what it used to be, but at times it can jump on me and stay there. I mentioned the other day about mental battles, we are entering day 3 of this current struggle. From the outside looking in; I see no reason that I should be in a mental battle. From the inside looking out; all I can see is the mental attack going on in my mind. I really hope you don’t have these types of days, but if you do, I completely understand where you are. The truth of the matter is; I am not rejected, but I am accepted, I am not disapproved, but I am approved. I know most of it comes because I know my destiny is to encourage others. Since that goes against the grain and our enemy hates that; he is going to attack us. To combat the attack; I want to encourage you to be strong in your mind. I am telling you that you are an awesome person. I see the gifting in you and the talent in you. You have an incredible destiny and purpose for your life. I approve of you and accept you just as you are right now, because I know what lies ahead for you. What lies ahead? Greatness, awesomeness, and wonderful things. A life full of peace, hope, joy, purpose and love. I give you a standing ovation. I am so excited and expectant about what is going to take place in your life. Your best day is yet to come. I believe in you and your destiny.
